CLOSED-NOTCH WIDGETS

Thirteen widgets beside the camera.

The space either side of the notch is usually empty menu bar. FunNotch lets you fill it with the readings you check most, any number on either side.

Your kind of glance.

Open Customize, drag widgets to the left or right of the camera, and drag them to the bin to remove them. Widget widths are measured from what they are showing, so the row always fits your notch.

All thirteen.

They share the space with music.

While something is playing you choose what the closed notch shows: the artwork and spectrum, your widgets, or both together.

And they make way for live activities.

Some things are worth interrupting for. The notch briefly shows volume, brightness and keyboard backlight changes, charging, Bluetooth devices connecting and disconnecting, new screenshots and finished downloads, then returns to your widgets.

A home screen you compose.

Opening the notch shows Home, a grid you arrange yourself. Drag tiles in, resize them and save layouts. You can give a moment its own screen: one for when media is playing, one for the minutes before a meeting, one for a focus session and one for charging.

Common questions.

How many widgets can I show at once?

As many as fit. Any number can go on either side of the camera, and FunNotch measures each one so the row fits your display.

Do the widgets work on a Mac without a notch?

Yes. On an external display or a Mac without a notch, FunNotch draws a floating island and the widgets sit either side of it.

Does the weather widget share my location?

Weather is requested from Open-Meteo using your location, and only if you allow Location. No account or API key is involved.
